There's a commercial from the Portland Tourist Bureau currently in heavy rotation on Hulu, and it's driving me crazy.
It's a cute little animated ad with a disgustingly stereotypical millennial couple. Its pitch basically boils down to "Come visit Portland! It's... a city!" and it's one of the highest-pathos things I've ever seen. :|
@zebratron2084 "and you can do it all with a chicken in your backpack!"
..... wat
@zebratron2084 ... you're certain this isn't a commercial for Portlandia?
Here we go.

"Come to Portland! We have... bridges. And... welding?"
The really sad thing is, when Peg and I visited Portland, we were only there for two days and covered most of the above highlights. :p
To be fair, Powell's is pretty damned impressive. And I actually really love Portland, in part _because_ it's a nerdy, run-down town without a lot of tacky surface glamour. Same reasons I like Seattle.
